This pattern includes all the pieces you need to make your own Headrest Bib to fit your Beco Gemini baby carrier. Get the Pattern HERE
Included: Three pattern pieces. Piece A is short, it just covers the headrest. Piece B is long, it adds extra protection, particularly when your baby is forward-facing. Piece C is an optional snap tab for a side closure, instead of a pull-over. A snap side is a great option if you don’t want to hand sew the edges together.
This pattern is reversible! You can use any combination of these pieces to make your perfect bib. The most commonly made combo is the Short/Long or AB bib; think mullet. This is perfect if you ever forward-face. When the headrest is down, the long side B wraps over the top edge and tucks between your baby and the carrier. This protects the top edge from drool. You may also want to make suck pads to protect your straps.
Got a super drooler? You can also choose to use PUL or other waterproof fabric inside or as the backing for ultimate carrier protection
You can be as creative with this pattern as you desire: add trim or embroidery, go off pattern and add pockets, or make it out of satin or slippery fabric to keep your little one’s curls from being mussed. The possibilities are endless!
Supplies:
One half yard of 44″ wide fabric is enough to make both sides of the bib. A 1/2 yard of two different fabrics will give you a different look on each side, with leftovers. Please see the layout charts with measurements if using scrap or woven wrap scrap.
Optional Tab Closure: 2 Snap sets, velcro, or similar product.
